No Elevators Day

No Elevators Day during a lockdown!

By NowWeMOVE Campaign Manager Laska Nenova

Dear friends and partners, in just one month (29 April 2020) we will celebrate our global No Elevators Day. No Elevators Day was created with a simple notion – to motivate people to choose the stairs instead of the elevators, as taking the stairs is good for our overall health and can give us a spark of physical activity at any moment of our days.

Why join in?

You will help create healthier habits among members of your community.

3.

You will be part of a global event – movement – where we keep moving through tough times together for our physical and mental health.

4.

We will have fun while staying at home.

No Elevators Day is an initiative of the International Sport and Culture Association (ISCA) as part of the NowWeMOVE campaign to get 100 million people more active by 2020.

All activities under the No Elevators Day title are voluntary and should take into consideration accessibility requirements for people with disabilities and medical conditions.

No Elevators Day is a great idea. It’s about just taking that moment to not take the short cut, but to actually raise your heartbeat, take those stairs, reach for the top and get that extra exercise in. Get those extra paces into your day. So I think it is a marvellous idea. And when somebody always asks me what’s the fastest way to the top, it’s walking up an escalator. Don’t just stand still, be active!

It’s such an easy way to take care of your health! We wish it would take place at least once a week, EVERYWHERE, and hopefully taking the stairs becomes a reflex!

None of our employees were opposed to taking part in the initiative, we are even thinking that it should not be just one day but more days of the year.

We joined for a second consecutive year because we believe in a healthy lifestyle. Our employees are active, come to work with their bicycle, and use the stairs at work and at home. For us it is a way of life, and we hope by getting into No Elevators Day we will motivate our viewers to use the stairs.
